Thoughts about Christmas
At FB these days people make a lot of postings about Christmas just like “I hate it to be broke, no money for the xmas shopping”, “I go crazy, don’t know what to do first to prepare everything for xmas”, “today started baking cookies for xmas but hubby ate them right away, could start again” and so on. Everyone’s complaining about money, shopping, preparations, they complain about people that say “happy holidays” but not “merry Christmas”, they complain about everything.When I asked some of them “why do you complain about all these things, you’re the lucky one” they asked me if I’m crazy. NO, I’m not, I answered. I wish I would have all those problems, and if only for just one Christmas. Then they asked me if I’m on drugs or if I missed a date with my psychiatrist. NO, I answered. Not at all.
Doesn’t matter if I’m broke or not I don’t have anyone to buy a Christmas present for.
I don’t need to prepare something for Christmas cause I’ll spend it all alone, just like every year. The only company I’ll have are my dogs, my PC, my TV and my couch. Nobody to have party with, nobody to hug, nobody to talk to… except my clients who are crying on the phone that they are alone at Christmas and need me to talk to.
The only cookies I’m baking are some doggy treats and except my dogs nobody will eat them.
It will be just another day, nothing special…neither a happy holiday nor a merry Christmas. I’ll get up, have my cup of coffee, go outside with the dogs, work, take a walk with the dogs, make dinner for the three of us, maybe watch a stupid film on TV, work again and later on I’ll go to bed. That’s all. It will be just a usual day like all the other 364 days of the year.
So, tell me, who’s the lucky one???

Truly, I am sorry that you will be spending the day alone. I at least will get my children for the afternoon, so I will not be alone the entire time.
just have my mother - we don't have any contact for many years now - and my brother. Since I had an argue with his gf he's not talking to me anymore. that's my whole "family"...
and of course my dogs
I'm good at cooking..you'll miss a good dinner. But I wish you a wonderful time with your children
I like your blog.
I wish I could just treat
my Xmas like any ordinary day...
My children will complain heaps...
